2nd week started out a lot better. First 4 nights getting 5-61/2 hrs sleep… would either fall asleep right away and wake before alarm or still take about 60-90 min to fall asleep but would then sleep thru to my alarm. (Marked improvement from being up 4-5 hrs some nights) First time I’ve had zero awakenings besides if my baby woke me. Last night I decided to quit taking a couple calming herbs I usually take at night..they aren’t sedative but I want to be sure the progress is all mine and not feel like I’m still having to take stuff to help sleep. I wasn’t as tired upon going to bed which was a little disappointing and then backtracked a bit on my night. However my baby did have a horrible night and cried for 45 minutes when we first got in bed and then woke thru the night. (Wonderful timing for a sleep regression) it took me about an hour after she finally fell asleep and then I woke once on my own and then once with her again so only got about 3 hrs. Trying to just roll with the ups and downs. Still having pretty bad anxiety from starting the program too… more so than before I started and not sure if that’s normal? Better than last week tho since I’ve gotten a little more sleep lately. I’m going to keep with not taking the herbs and just hope that next week gets a little better as well. What do you guys think? Normal progress? I don’t really know when I should start to see results but my coach said normally around the 3rd week things start to come together. Fingers crossed!!
I just booked my first appt with dr Zhou next week. I ran across him online then on this forum. I just currently started a cbt-I program last week and things have gotten drastically worse which I’ve told happens. My “sleep coach” gives me horrible anxiety and keeps me in the dark on many of the why’s of the program which further propels my anxiety feeling like I’m in the dark on a program or what is going to come next. I was just curious how your treatment started with dr. Zhou… how long it took to see results(I know everyone is different) or just any additional details on it. I feel like he is honestly prob one of the best out there in curing this so this is kind of my shot.
